Forecasts

Birchdale (3/1), Champagne Gold (16/5), Sit Down Lucy (11/2), Darver Star (7/1), Take All (17/2), Snugsborough Hall (9/1), Filon D'Oudairies (10/1), All Those Years (12/1)

Verdict

BIRCHDALE is back in excellent order, casting aside a fall when runner-up despite conceding first run at Punchestown last month. He rates the percentage call, though Champagne Gold lurks on a dangerous mark. Veteran Snugsborough Hall is another to consider.

  1. BIRCHDALE (IRE)
  2. CHAMPAGNE GOLD (IRE)
  3. SNUGSBOROUGH HALL (IRE)
